Lifting the Veil

"Lifting the Veil" is a 50-minute documentary that was partially funded by Channel Four in the UK. The filmmaker traveled to Afghanistan to investigate the public murder of Zarmina, an Islamic mother of seven. Her abusive husband was going to tell the Taliban that she had committed adultery, a crime punishable by death. She killed him in self defense and was sent to prison. Her seven children, all under the age of 15, were persuaded by the Taliban to find their mother guilty. Garapedian searched out the children, who provide commentary. Lifting the Veil was originally broadcast on British television in 2002.

Screamers

"Screamers" was released in early 2007. This joint production with the band System of a Down depicts genocides of the past century, with a focus on the Armenian Genocide of 1915. Also mentioned are the Jewish Holocaust, the Rwandan Genocide, and the genocide of the Darfur region. The movie consists of a tour with SOAD interspersed with cut scenes of genocides.
